This technology is considered the gold standard in non-invasive brain surgery. Treating complex conditions with tiny incisions or no incisions, this technique reduces pain, scarring and recovery time. By delivering a single dose of radiation that accurately targets the tumor, the patient doesn't require multiple treatments. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery is a non-invasive brain surgery procedure, and despite its name, does not use blades or incisions. Instead, it targets and destroys diseased brain tissue with precisely focused radiation, while leaving surrounding healthy tissue unharmed. In fact, this treatment technology allows physicians to treat brain tumors, lesions, vascular malformations and functional disorders that were once considered inoperable.
